Hello Again!




Hi guys, I'm back again!A little bit about me. My bame is Efrain from Puerto Rico currently living in VA moved here in 2007.Now a little about my mini history. My first car was a 04 Silver R50 Manual, then sold that and bought me a 07 Lighting Blue Metallic R56 Manual, that gave me lots of problems to the point where I had to take the engine apart and rectify the head , change timing chain and a few other things(got some good help from some of you guys here).Well had to get rid of it even after I fixed it myself. Sometime went by and saved some money and decided to buy me a 06 Hype Blue Metallic R53 Manual. I love 1st gen, and I like 2nd ahhaah I have lots of ideas and things I want to do with this one. but here are some photos of them. if you

Oh dang, that's a bit north of me, I do make trips up every now and then. There's some good junk yards up there. I live in a small town near Suffolk Va.
